This article deals with beauty standards in America and is written by Maxine Leeds Craig. It is clear that beauty can be seen as one of the top factors that we as humans seem to worry about. In fact, beauty enforces norms and often times dictates how women can live their lives. In this article, Craig discusses the facts on how beauty relates to feminist ideas. Craig specifically talks about African-American beauty standards as well.

This article is very enlightening and tells us just how much women are sexualized in America. I find this to be quite saddening, and people should understand the beauty standards to help eliminate them. No one should have to feel excluded because of what they look like and what race they are, so this kind of knowledge can help bring awareness to diversity.
